Hey everybody. I decided to check in for awhile and lurk around. Not that much into posting but I like the info on this site and it seems like a friendly one. Keep up the good work here. I have been doing the mx thing for __ years opps don't want to give away how young I really am. Lets just say I remember sachs and leading link front ends or boat anchors as they were called and CZ when they ruled kinda.

Way back when, I always wanted a Macio490. Just a dumb kid then I guess.
Now I ride a 125SX...and better than I rode 20 years ago. Being in your prime is in your head, not your body. Keep it on two wheels and you'll be good!!

Yup :cool: But my problem way back then, was that I wanted a 370 and I weighed all of 120 lbs :whoa: Ok, so I'm not bullet proof now, but I do seem to get hurt less :) And I still would like that 370 :nod:

Thanks everyone and :cool: on the 370 suzzie. Even though the tm400's were il handling, frame flexing, light switch throttle, arm pumping machines they were still a blast to ride then. :ride:

I've got two radial head Sachs powered bikes ... a Penton and a DKW with a leading link front end. Yes, I rode them when they were new.
